Back to the Marvel Universe and Iron Man 3, a favorite part was during the shoot out at Vizcaya (wow, who knew?) the one evil henchman just drops his gun and runs away saying, basically, “I just work here. These people always creeped me out.” Super villains must have very robust employee engagement and incentive programs to keep all of those guys around.

As for the anti-hero types, I think they are interesting for many of the same reasons, but sometimes a little less fun. We can usually find some empathetic common ground there or maybe feel sympathy for their struggles. My current favorite is Jax Teller, Hamlet on a Harley.

You should really read the Klosterman book. I think you would really enjoy it.

You need a business plan, references and a solid pitch to the bank if you expect to get financing for your shrink ray. Although nepotism doesnt hurt.

Also what is your feelings about the villains as hero that are very popular on tv. Your Tony Soprano, Dexter, Vic Mackey of the Shield or pretty much any FX show.
